See ENT ASAP: With all those antibiotics in a few months, I agree antibiotic resistance is a concern, but you certainly aren't going to die from it. Still, seeing ENT is very important; you might need sinus drainage surgery to stop the recurrent infections. Maybe urgent enough or cost-saving to get insurance right away. Contact insurance exchange or health dept ASAP; maybe Obamacare can help (even in Texas!).
